"I think you're right!" Xiao Hua shook his head and said, "It should be Lou Ting's offer that tempted that arrogant two-qi immortal!"
"What could Lou Ting possibly have that could tempt a two-qi immortal?" Bai Xiaotu asked curiously, "I haven't found anything good on his boat yet!"
Li Moyi was about to say something, but abruptly lowered her head, looked at a crystal talisman tied around her waist and said, "It's a message from Lou Family's ancestor!"
"Hmm, ask him where he is …" Xiao Hua nodded.
Li Moyi activated the talisman and said a few words to Lou Ting, then smiled and said, "Master, Lou Family's ancestor is nearby. He'll be here soon."
"Hehe …" Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Of course he's nearby. I just don't know how many immortals he's persuaded!"
Not long after, Lou Ting came with his disciple. From afar, Lou Ting asked, "Immortal Xiao, how's it going?"
Xiao Hua answered, "Xiao has found the pill room, but it's all rented. Xiao left a message talisman. Once someone comes out, Xiao will be there immediately!"
"Thank you, Immortal Xiao!" Lou Ting was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "I know you pill refiners have your own pill furnaces. Seeing you like this, I guess you don't have a suitable pill fire. When we get to the sea market, I'll keep an eye out for you!"
"Thank you, Immortal Xiao!" Xiao Hua pretended to be happy, then asked with concern, "Immortal Xiao Hua, how's it going?"
"Not good!" Lou Ting shook his head and said, "I didn't find a good helper, but I did find a good opportunity …"
After Lou Ting briefly explained what happened in the Pill Alliance, Xiao Hua said, "This must be Lu Xu's arrangement! The deal between Lou Family and Yao Xuan Trading Association isn't a small matter. If there's no special reason, Bai Hao wouldn't dare to break the original agreement! Even though the bet between Ping Cheng and Fellow Daoist Lou can be considered to be an accident, and it's a weakness that can be used against him, but if he's determined to make it flawless, then he'll surely rely on the impartiality of the Talisman Alliance to make Fellow Daoist Lou have nothing to say, and he'll make the merchant leaders of the merchant alliance have nothing to say as well. "
"Alas, Fellow Immortal Xiao is right!" Lou Ting sighed and said, "I know that this is Lu Xu's arrangement, but I have no choice but to enter the trap! I also need to rely on the Talisman Dao Alliance's justice!! "
Xiao Hua asked curiously, "If you don't have any good helpers, are you really going to fight with your bare arms?"
"If there's really no other way, then this is the only way!" Lou Ting looked helpless, but Xiao Hua had already seen Li Moyi's guess from the corner of his mouth.
However, after that, Lou Ting smiled and said, "Of course, if the Talisman Dao Alliance's selection wasn't arranged by Ping Cheng, then the Talisman Dao Alliance's selection wouldn't have happened. Then didn't I choose the Talisman Dao Alliance to give Ping Cheng a lethal blow? "
Xiao Hua knew that this was almost impossible, so he simply smiled and said nothing.
Then, Xiao Hua thought of another thing and asked, "Oh right, when will the Sea Market begin? I heard from you that the Talisman Dao Alliance hasn't arrived yet, so don't delay the Sea Market! "
"How can I have the mood to participate in the Sea Market when I haven't solved my problem yet? Even if the Sea Market begins today, I … I won't have any goods to trade! " Lou Ting seemed to have misunderstood Xiao Hua, so he hurriedly explained, "But, Fellow Immortal Xiao, don't worry. The Sea Market isn't the only Immortal Dike. It's a grand event that lasts for nearly a lifetime, or even several lifetimes. However, the core of the event is the Immortal Dike on Purple Lustre Island. Rest assured, even if I lose the bet with Ping Cheng, I'll still send you to Purple Lustre Island!"
Xiao Hua didn't say anything, but Li Moyi hurriedly asked, "Senior Lou, don't tell me … you didn't get the token either?"
"Eh-hem …" Lou Ting coughed slightly, then gave a bitter smile and said, "She Jin promised to give me the token to enter Purple Lustre Island, but he disappeared before he arrived at Chen Xiao Lake. And now, Bai Hao is the head of Yao Xiang Trading Association, so … I can't get the token. It seems that I have to find another opportunity. "
"Haha, it's alright!" Xiao Hua laughed and said, "Xiao doesn't plan to enter Purple Lustre Island either. Otherwise, I would have gone with you when you invited me the first time. Don't mention the token. I'll just take a walk around Chen Xiao Lake."
"Ah, thank you for your understanding, Fellow Immortal Xiao!" Lou Ting sighed and cupped his hands. A disciple beside him said in a low voice, "Ancestor, a disciple of Ping Family sent a message. He asked when you'll give him a reply!"
"Now!" Lou Ting said without hesitation.
Then, Lou Ting said to Xiao Hua, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, can you be my witness?"
"Of course!" Xiao Hua understood what Lou Ting was thinking. After all, Bai Hao and Lu Xu were behind Ping Cheng. If he could stand on Lou Ting's side, Lou Ting's courage would be boosted.
On top of the mountain, Ping Cheng and Lou Ting stood facing each other. Lu Xu stood behind Ping Cheng, while Xiao Hua stood behind Lou Ting. Bai Hao smilingly stood in the third position and asked, "Fellow Immortal Lou, have you made any progress on your bet with Fellow Immortal Ping?"
Bai Hao asked a question that he already knew the answer to, but Lou Ting dared not to hesitate. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Deputy Master Bai, I've made a decision."
"Good!" Bai Hao said with a fake smile, "Fellow Immortal Lou, the bet between Fellow Immortal Ping and Fellow Immortal Lou has been settled. I'll have to explain it to the Deputy Master. Fellow Immortal Lou, please tell me!"
Lou Ting sighed in his head. He looked at Ping Cheng and said, "Fellow Immortal Ping and I have decided on the art of making talismans, but we haven't decided on the person and the method, right?"
"Yes!" Ping Cheng nodded, then looked around and asked curiously, "I think Yanran from Lou Family is the best talisman maker, isn't she? Why hasn't she come yet? "
"Yanran has other important matters to attend to!" Lou Ting replied indifferently, "Moreover, there are many talisman maker geniuses in my Lou Family. There's no need for Yanran to make a move."
"Hmm …" Ping Cheng responded and said, "It seems like Fellow Immortal Lou is very confident. Could it be that this junior beside you is a disciple sent by the Lou Family?"
"Cough cough …" Lou Ting coughed lightly and said, "This is Fellow Immortal Xiao, whom I've invited as a witness."
"Fellow Immortal Xiao?" Ping Cheng and Xiao Hua looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion. However, Ping Cheng didn't give face to Xiao Hua and said coldly, "A Derived Immortal doesn't have the qualifications to address me as an equal!"
"Xiao also didn't plan on getting to know you …" Xiao Hua sneered. "If not for Fellow Immortal Lou's invitation, Xiao wouldn't even see you!"
"How dare you!" Ping Cheng was furious and shouted, "You are …"
"Cough cough …" Bai Hao hurriedly coughed lightly and said, "This Fellow Immortal Xiao must be a disciple of the Green Jade School, right?"
Ping Cheng suddenly came to a realization, and a regretful expression appeared on his face.
"No!" Xiao Hua waved his hand with disdain and said, "There's no need to care about Xiao's background, Xiao will only be a witness!"
"Alright!" Ping Cheng could only ask Lou Ting. "Fellow Immortal Lou has decided how this talisman crafting competition will be carried out, right?"
"I've walked around Flowing Jade Swamp!" Lou Ting spoke leisurely and complacently. "I just happened to see the Talisman Dao Alliance holding a selection. Why don't we directly decide the victor during the selection?"
"Fellow Immortal Lou has a great idea!" Ping Cheng sneered. "The selection for the Talisman Dao Alliance has already been decided. Isn't it too late for Fellow Immortal Lou to speak now?"
"I don't know if it's too late or not!" Lou Ting retorted. "The method of the battle was decided by me. If Fellow Immortal Ping doesn't obtain a position, then it's Fellow Immortal Ping's misfortune! Of course, since Fellow Immortal Ping knows that the selection for the Talisman Dao Alliance has already been decided, I presume … those immortals that led my Lou Clan's disciples to the Talisman Dao Alliance were also done by Fellow Immortal Ping, right? "
Ping Cheng didn't answer Lou Ting and asked directly. "I wonder which disciple of the Lou Clan will be participating?"
"Which disciple of the Ping Clan will be participating?" Lou Ting replied with another question.
"I've said it clearly earlier …" Ping Cheng smiled. "It's fine as long as an immortal represents my Ping Clan!"
"Yes!" Lou Ting smiled as well. "It's fine as long as an immortal represents my Lou Clan. Why do we need to know who this immortal is?"
"Eh?" Lu Xu asked curiously from the side. "Fellow Immortal Lou, what do you mean? If you don't know which immortal represents the Lou Clan, how do you know your Lou Clan will win? "
Lou Ting ignored Lu Xu and turned to Bai Qun. "Vice Merchant Master Bai, forgive me for being so bold, but I'm currently in Flowing Jade Pond and surrounded by disciples of the three clans of Chen Xiao Lake. Although I believe Fellow Immortal Ping and Fellow Immortal Lu, I don't dare to believe others. Therefore, I can't tell Lord Merchant Master which immortal represents my Lou Clan!"
"This …" Bai Qun didn't expect Lou Ting to say this. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Xu and Ping Cheng, and nodded. "Fellow Immortal Lou's worries are … groundless, but I can understand. It's not too late to tell during the selection!"
"Since that's the case …" Ping Cheng rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "There's no need to tell during the selection. We just have to wait until the selection results are out and the immortals representing the Lou Clan and Ping Clan reveal their identities!"
"Interesting, interesting!" Seeing Lou Ting pondering, Bai Qun knew that Lou Ting hadn't thought about this. He immediately clapped his hands and said, "We'll do as Fellow Immortal Ping says! Until the very end, no one knows who will win and who will lose! "
"Alright!" Lou Ting had no choice but to agree. He turned to Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, can you be my witness?"
Xiao Hua didn't think too much about it. He nodded and said, "Of course!"
Unfortunately, just as Xiao Hua finished speaking, Li Moyi suddenly lowered her head and looked at the communication crystal talisman at her waist. She hurriedly sent a voice transmission, "Master, there's a message from the pill room. I'm afraid there's an empty pill room!"
Xiao Hua smiled and said to Lou Ting, "Fellow Immortal Lou, I'm afraid Xiao can't be your witness."
"What's wrong?" Lou Ting was anxious and asked, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, are you going to abandon me too?"
Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Fellow Immortal Lou, you're thinking too much!"
"Aiyo!" Lou Ting came to his senses and urged, "I know. Fellow Immortal, go quickly! Big Sister's matter can't be delayed! "
"Okay!" Xiao Hua sent a voice transmission. "Xiao will head to the pill room right now. After that, Xiao will ask two disciples to come up with a plan for Fellow Immortal Lou and be Fellow Immortal Lou's witness."
